About

The Singapore/Johor Bahru graticule is at latitude 1, longitude 103. It covers most of Singapore except for Pulau Tekong and some reclaimed land east of Changi Airport. It also encompasses parts of Johor, Malaysia, such as Johor Bahru and Pasir Gudang, and bits of the Indonesian Riau islands.

About half of the graticule is composed of land; the rest is made up of the Straits of Singapore and the Straits of Malacca.

The neighboring (1, 104) graticule may make a good backup for some days where the Singapore/Johor Bahru graticule yields coordinates over water in the Straits of Malacca.

Today's Location: [Singapore, Singapore]

Resources

The Singapore Land Authority's map services are useful as a supplemental planning/navigation aid: includes a detailed and up-to-date street directory as well as a land query tool for checking land ownership.

The hash is located inside MacRitchie Reservoir Park. With predominantly urban past expeditions, a hike in the nature reserve sounds nice! Trails are well maintained; Google street view available for recce purposes. Trail map pdf

Precise spot is approx 70~80m off trail along Terentang Trail. If going off trail: Caution! Ensure you have a means to navigate and/or mark your trail. Due to thorny undergrowth, trousers/jeans are recommended.

Weather forecast: possible thundery showers -- fingers crossed!
